The aim of the course is to produce technologists for a career in geospatial science where they will work with spatial information. Graduates will be able to manipulate data and provide information about the earth to planners, engineers, environmental managers and commerce. Applicants should have an aptitude for mathematics, physical science and computers, good spatial perception, and an eye for detail. Offering type listed: FULL-TIME: BELLVILLE CAMPUS.
Faculty: Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment | Department: Civil Engineering and Geomatics | Study mode: full-time | Location: Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Subjects listed on the programme page include Communication Skills; Drawing; Geography; Mathematics 1A; Surveying 1A; Civil Engineering.
The Bachelor of Geomatics has two streams – Surveying and Geographic Information Science (GISc). The Surveying stream produces survey technologists and the GISc stream produces GISc technologists. • Surveying is the science of surveying (measuring) and mapping the face of the earth. Mapping forms the foundation of physical planning and land development. A survey technician is responsible for the collection, representation, analysis, management, and retrieval and modelling of spatial data (natural and man-made features on the earth), It involves field work for data capturing and computer data processing. You will work with geo-information technology, satellite imagery and remote sensing – to enable effective decision-making in areas from urban planning, management of natural resources and the environment, health to emergency services. • Geographical Information Science is the science of capturing, processing, analysing and mapping spatial data (information about the earth). Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology is used to explore, visualise and analyse data. Computer-based systems bring advanced information management techniques to science, business and governments across the globe Survey or GIS technologists may open a practice and/or join a partnership with other technologists or professionals. Technologists may carry out survey or GIS work unsupervised and may also supervise and certify the work of technicians.
